International Blether
We deliver International Blether in conversation events as part of the Tri Nations Collaboration between the Centre for School Leadership, Ireland, Education Scotland and the National Academy for Educational Leadership Wales. The International Blether events are open to all educators and leaders across the three nations. Previous Blethers have explored leaders’ well-being and middle leadership.
Leadership Unlocked
Our popular Leadership Unlocked webinars are guided by a notable guest speaker and are designed for those in senior leadership roles from schools, the youth work sector and further education colleges and aims to support them in their roles as system leaders. These web-based events deliver high quality and inspirational professional learning, that is engaging, stimulating, motivational, collaborative, inclusive and equitable to all. The webinars feature speakers from within and outside the field of education and previous speakers have included Professor Mick Waters, Professor Laura McAllister, Professor Graham Donaldson and Diana Osagie.
